Around 90,000 people are expected to show up for the first game on October 14th, and the authorities are already implementing increased safety measures, especially regarding your personal belongings. What this means is that it will be virtually impossible to bring any type of bag or sack inside the stadium without going through an exhausting ordeal.

Wembley’s bag policy is notoriously strict, as they activelydiscouragespectators from bringing any sacks or bags inside the Stadium, without providing any storage option.

In addition, there is a high chance that you might get searched by “friendly” search teams. However, all of that will be a picnic compared to theNFL’s bag policy, which will be in effect during the London Games.

The NFL “Clear Bag” Policy in Wembley

The NFL will enforce a“clear bag” policy for all games, meaning that all ticket holders will be banned from bringing any bags into the stadium, unless they are NFL-approved (i.e. non-transparent). All spectators will be searched upon entry, and the NFL reserves the right to refuse entry to anyone who carries prohibited items in the stadium.

Luckily, the European NFL e-shop sells NFL-approved bags right before gameday.

According to the policy only allows you to bring clear plastic bags of up to 30x30x15cm, 1-gallon freezer bags or pursesno larger than 11x15cm. For reference, this is about 1cm larger than a 2018 smartphone. We’re suspecting regulations like that earned them the nickname No Fun League!

So, unless you can fit everything in your pockets, say goodbye to your wallet, lip-gloss, bottles, inhalers, cameras, keys or snacks. Who needs them? Besides, you can always leave them in the car. Nobody will know they’re there.

Except, you know, thieves who happen to know what’s going on in the area.
